Summary The key objective of this unit was about how to use coursebooks and lesson materials for effective teaching. We also covered creative activities and techniques such as authentic materials like newspapers, menus, movies and videos. We also looked at how to use created materials such as crosswords, word searches, picture stories and flashcards. I learnt about the advantages and disadvantages of using coursebooks and how best to use them. Moreover, I learnt that one of the main disadvantages of using a coursebook is that they can become predictable and boring. To counter this I learnt it is best to adapt parts of the book by either omitting, replacing, supplementing using creative activities/techniques to keep the lesson interesting and fun for the students.
